Michael Brown, Why You Down

I broke the law

Got hauled in by a white cop

Was me or him

Reached for his gun, and I got shot

And I got shot

And I got shot

And I got shot

And I got shot

And I got shot in the forehead

Seems to me that Officer Wilson’s self-defense turned into murder somewhere along the way. Where was his taser? Wilson had control of the situation after the second [2^nd] shot -- his gun should have gone back in his holster then.
 

The Midnight Poet

Late at night when the wind is right

You’ll hear a knock at your door

And you’ll know what love is for


By candlelight with a quill I do write

The parchment’s silently bare

Are you ready to go, go there?


Yep, they call me the midnight poet

Do we dare go for it?


I’m the midnight, the midnight poet

What you need, I know it

Bumpity-Bump

Bump, bump, bump

Bumpity-bump

Bumpity-bump, bump, bump

P.S.: What is the meaning of this? Well, a lil’ mystery in life never hurt anyone! :p

Roll The Dice

If I, I don’t make it to fifty

Just wanted to say, you know, it’s been nice

Not near as nice as it should have been

But, hey, I, I got to roll the dice


Took a shot, yeah, went for the glory

Got craps in the casino of life

Not near as nice as it should have been

But, hey, I, I got to roll the dice


Ah, roll the dice, baby, roll the dice

C’mon, my sweet baby, roll the dice

Got craps in the casino of life

But, hey, I

I got to

Roll the dice
 

Just As Soon Laugh As Cry

I’m a one-eyed, half-blind fool-is-me

I’m at twenty percent capacity

And twenty percent does allow me

To see a tight and bright bikini!


Thought I’d be pushing up daisies by now

I’d already said “goodbye” to my friends

Quite a surprise to wake up this morning

Thought for sure, you know, this was the end


But I’m still here to see

A nice tight bikini!
 

All I Need Is You

Yours is the canvas that I paint on ‘til the end

Your fate blows in the whispering wind

Life is short, too short, tho it makes a never-ceasing din

Is this the beginning or the end?


All I need

All I need

All I need

Is you


The wind does howl Death, yeah, in a thunderous roar

Torn to tatters, my heart is sore

My brush is broken, and now there is nothing more

The fury of Hell slammed the door


All I need

All I need

All I need

Is you


Yours is the canvas that I paint on ‘til the end

Tell me: what was, what was my sin?

Damning With Faint Praise

O, me and the Lord, we had us a deal

Restore my sight, I’d sing His praises for real

He didn’t do that, but I am feelin’ just fine

Praise the Lord, you know, He stopped the decline


He stopped the decline

He stopped the decline

Praise the Lord, the healer of mankind

He stopped the decline


I fell in a well, was tumblin’ down

The Lord caught me before I hit ground

Looking thro tubes at what I can see

Praise the Lord, you know, I mean sincerely


He stopped the decline

He stopped the decline

Praise the Lord, the healer of mankind

He stopped the decline
